Hi Alan,
Thanks for your comments. I understand your suggestions. We already have
a similar reference check with the udc name before calling
usb_gadget_register_driver.
In the drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c file, I am wondering if there might
be an issue with the check of udc_name before
usb_gadget_register_driver. This is the only way to allow
gadget_register to be called before releasing or unregistering an
existing udc. Do you think we need to add an additional check here,
referencing the UDC, to prevent gadget_register from being called before
the existing UDC is released?
drivers/usb/gadget/configfs.c : gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store()
===========================================================
if (gi->composite.gadget_driver.udc_name) {
ret = -EBUSY;
goto err;
}
gi->composite.gadget_driver.udc_name = name;
ret = usb_gadget_register_driver(&gi->composite.gadget_driver);
Thanks,
Selva
